Eye of Abendego (ah-BEN-deh-go)

The intensity of the Eye is variable. At its weakest it can tear the sails off the biggest ships. At its strongest, the wind alone can blow a large vessel into splinters. The Eye periodically spawns smaller storms that travel up and down the coast, bringing torrential rain and hurricane-speed winds to outlying regions.   The Eye has been used to great effect by the pirate lords of the Shackles at Saronia , who hide their illegal activities behind it and by the inhabitants of Fort Condor , who use the storm as part of their defenses.   Although the Eye clearly seems to be tied to the death of... , researchers have been unable to discover what keeps it going and tied to its specific location. Magical divinations focused on the center of the Eye observe a large eye of calm whose waters are choked with debris.

The Eye appeared during the Calamity Era of CE, in what people called the Abendego Gulf. Although the exact cause of its appearance is unknown, it came into being after the three weeks of tempest following the death of a certain being, and remains as the greatest physical evidence of the event.
